Nvidia hairworks tomb raider. Tomb raider only applies tressfx to lara croft the witcher 3 applies hairworks to the protagonist s and animals. Even on nvidia cards there is a performance hit for hairworks but it s no where near as severe as amd cards. From our perspective hairworks just like the tressfx tech found in tomb raider is best considered as an expensive luxury to be enabled only if you have a vast surfeit of gpu compute power. In addition there s a new game wide application of tessellation a new shadow setting that applies realistic softening supersampling anti aliasing options and nvidia hbao ambient occlusion shadowing.

One problem i had with tressfx in tomb raider was that while the hair looked great the hair was not affected by water or even by her swimming in pools of blood. It s official nvidia hairworks is better than amd s tressfx. Physx is used in a lot more games than tressfx. As such nvidia figured let s introduce hairworks.

She would come out of blood all red and soaking but her hair would be fine. But as you can see by the screenshots hairworks is actually affected by water this great.
